LOVE MAZE | VKOOK

➴ seventeen.

"Oh my gosh, you're claimed!"

Taehyung can't help himself but to scream in delight, giggling a little as he finally saw what Jimin had been hiding since the morning. The healer blushed and hit his arm lightly. "Can you be quiet! They can hear you, you know?"

Taehyung smiled and bit his lips. He brought his arms on Jimin's shoulders and brushed. "I'm-I'm happy for you, Jimin. I'm so happy for you." He giggled. "Just like what we've dreamt!"

"Yeah, just like what we've dreamt.." Jimin spoke sadly and looked down. Taehyung sighed as Jimin pouted. "We've dreamt about this together, Tae. And I just, I just can't accept that..that's never going to happen to you. That if ever you fall inlove, none of it was as close as to the happiness that you could feel if it's with your soulmate, Tae."

"Thank you for reminding me that I'm mateless," Taehyung rolled his eyes playfully. "But Jimin, look at the positive side, remember? Maybe I'm meant to do more things. I trust Moon Goddess, I know she'll take care of me."

Jimin smiled. "After all what happened, you still love her so dearly."

"Ofcourse." Taehyung giggled and looked up at the Moon fountain, sighing deeply as he take in the beauty of the goddess whom he loves the most. He may be mateless now, but just like what he said, he knows the goddess has different plans for him now. He looked at Jimin again. "By the way, have you seen Jeongguk?"

"He was with Yoongi. They were out hunting." He spoke and bitterly smiled. "He's still ignoring you?"

"Yes," Taehyung sighes. "I don't think I can confront him. He's so close yet he's always so far. I can't understand him anymore."

"And you're bothered because??"

"Because he's special to me, hyung." Taehyung responded. "He was my mate. And before we break the bond, we have established a good friendship back there in the mountain. I guess I expected too much from him and it just hurts that he can easily forget about me after everything we've been through in the mountain."

"I guess you both really need to talk. I don't know enough to give an opinion. And we haven't heard Jeongguk's side."

"Yeah.." Taehyung muttered. He knew one day he have to talk to Jeongguk about this.

Jeongguk cursed as the deer ran off before he could even raise his bow. He grumbled in annoyance. He's itching to be in his wolf form and just wanted to tackle every fucking deer he sees so their hunting would be much easier.

"You seemed to be distracted." Yoongi spoke, eyeing the disturbed Alpha. Jeongguk snorted. "Just go talk to Taehyung. I'm sick of watching you both like this."

"What?" Jeongguk grumbled, surprised to hear the omega's name. Yoongi side eyed him and chuckled. "I don't even get why you're avoiding him. You know what? No offense but that's definetely some asshole move and Taehyung doesn't deserve any if it."

Jeongguk looked at him, annoyed than ever. "Asshole move? If anything, I'm doing him a favor. He agreed to break the bond so I'm just acting according to what's right for us."

"And that, is to ignore Taehyung, forget about the whole Blood Moon mountain memories with him and completely shut him off? That seemed to be the right thing to you?" Yoongi spoke, sounding pissed off. Because he really was so fucking pissed off of hearing Jeongguk's unreasonable reasons. He had grown affection towards Taehyung as well, and he's important to him now because not only was he's his mate's bestfriend but he considers the omega as his friend too. He felt like punching Jeongguk at this very moment.
